Habitat for Humanity joins the world in mourning the death of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. A champion for affordable and decent housing, he and Rosalynn Carter donated their time and leadership each year to build and improve homes with Habitat around the world.
Former President Jimmy Carter served others his whole life, and we’ve been honored that this incredible passion led him to partner with Habitat for over 30 years. President Carter shared with us what inspired him to pursue a lifetime of helping others – a mission that has changed thousands of lives.
Habitat for Humanity teams are readying their response as wildfires continue to rage across Southern California. Initial reports indicate some Habitat homes were destroyed in the region and the organization will continue to conduct assessments as soon as it is safe to do so.
